With its usually stable weather and pleasant temperatures, fall is the season for upgrading many home systems, including your water heater. If your water heater is over 10 years old and has been acting up lately, perhaps it’s time for an upgrade. Learn more about why now is the right time to get your new water heater in place.
Upgrading in the Fall Means Reliable Hot Water
Fall heralds the holiday season, and that probably means you’ll be doing more entertaining. You’ll need hot water for everything from washing dishes and laundry to hot showers. An upgrade makes sure that hot water is available when you need it.
Improving Energy Efficiency
The latest models of water heaters can be remarkably energy efficient. If you’ve had your old water heater for 15 years, it’s probably much less efficient than one you can buy this year. Not only this, but new water heaters can come with tax credits and rebates, allowing you to save even more.
Minor Problems Are Easier to Fix
Newer water heaters are easier to fix than their older counterparts, thanks primarily to the ease with which we can find replacement parts. While newer systems don’t experience as many problems as older, outdated models, no home system is immune to problems. Fortunately, you can protect your new water heater by scheduling regular maintenance following professional advice when you initially have it installed.
It’s Easier to Find a Plumber
Another good thing about a water heater upgrade in the fall is that it’s probably easier to find a plumber to install or upgrade a new system. Winter is busy because of all the burst pipes caused by freezes. Fall tends to be a slow period when it comes to home improvement projects. Because of this, you might even be able to get a bit of a discount from a plumber who’s having a fallow period and is looking for work.
Though late fall gets busy, early fall tends to be a quiet period. You can take advantage of early fall to research new models and upgrades to your hot water heating system.
